That was more of a wish than anything. Like I said, Seattle teams combined probably have a good 85%-90% winning percentage when I am in attendance. It's a running joke in our family. We had a streak of like 13 winning Mariners games going. They were down like 6-3 in the 7th and we were discussing the death of our streak. Then there was a 5.4 earthquake, and the game was postponed. Most of the time they weren't even close games. 9-1, 7-2, 8-3. For some awful reason, I'm the Seattle sports franchises lucky rabbits foot.
There will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be reviewing of officials in game so the entire world can see how incompetent they are on a weekly basis.
That will be kept behind closed doors, where it can be covered up in an attempt to fool the public into thinking they get 99.9% of the calls right.
They are the best!!
The penalty was for launching. If he was deemed to have launched then he would have been fined. The fact that he wasn't fined means that the NFL reviewed the play and came to the conclusion that he didn't launch. If he didn't launch there shouldn't have been a flag.
The fact that Davis isn't cleared to play is unfortunate, but completely irrelevant.
Edit - How hard does Chancellor hit if he can give Vernon Davis a concussion without hitting him in the head??

Last word on Chancellor.
Chancellor not fined for textbook tackle

Every week, there are fines that are debatable.
But this week, the absence of a fine for Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor might have been the easiest call of the week.
As expected, Chancellor was not punished for the hit that knocked 49ers tight end Vernon Davis out of last week’s game.
Frankly, it was the kind of clean, hard shot that ought to be distributed as a teaching tool, to players and officials. Chancellor put a shoulder pad to Davis’ chest, and separated the ball from Davis in the process.
Other players and coaches whine when they got docked for leading with their heads or hitting players late, saying the rules have made the game less physical.
By not fining Chancellor for a hit that was flagged on the field (because officials have been conditioned to call anything that’s close), the league has shown there is still room for big hits.
I agree the lack of a fine doesnt make it a bad call, but it was a bad call in this case.
Davis being hurt should be irrelevant, but lets be honest if that was deemed a dirty hit the fine would probably be higher if the guy gets injured from it.
In this case that fact that Davis was hurt and the league didnt fine him makes it an even more obvious bad call by the officials.
As far as reviews it will never happen the games will take forever not to mention its still a judgement call.
As a Packer fan I know first hand that reviews arent always going to make a bad call a good one. If that were the case the Seahawks would need a win this week to be in the playoffs, and GB would have the 2 locked up with a chance at the 1 seed.
I don't understand why you keep poking the issue. Do you think it was illegal, or worthy of a fine? There's pretty much near-unanimous opinions that this was a clean hit, and if you slow down the gif, he clearly did not launch, as part of the definition of "launching" includes leaving the ground AND leading with the helmet, neither of which happened here.
So you just stirring the pot, B? If not, what are you trying to say?
